Shirley's heart thundered. Why was she chosen on this quest, was what she didn't know. She just had an invitation, and she agreed to it without second thought. In fact, she was excited to the soles of her feet. She had waited a long time to get to a quest. Now was her time to shine. But the fact that the starting day of the quest had come had stunned Shirley. Now her excitement was replaced by nervousness. Still, Shirley was willing to go.

Now, here was she in the airport waiting shed. Her quest partners would come soon. Until they do, all Shirley could do was to fidget with her bag, clothes, and anything to ease her running adrenaline. On her bag were a pair of jeans and shirts, ambrosia, nectar, ropes, and a long cloth to cover her for the desert of Africa--Sahara. She was also carrying a roll of mortal money, drachmas, and a sleeping bag. By all means, Shirley was ready for this quest. In addition, she also brought a compass, and a pen and paper for taking notes on the way.

Fine. They had to find the gem on that tome in Sahara at seven days' time. If not, then the ghost who was causing havoc at camp will vanish. Although that was good for camp,it wasn't a good news for the ghost. That means that Layla (that's the ghost) will never have an afterlife. They engaged on the quest for that. Shirley was happy that the countdown for the seven days deadline will start once they step foot onto the Sahara.

Shirley out her hands together, and prayed to dear Hecate to bless them for their trip. Because whatever they do, this quest is gonna be hard. "Hecate, guide us," Shirley murmured.

On their means of transportation, they were about to use a portal. Shirley will be using that to board a ship going on to the right direction, to Africa. That will be a little tricky. Shirley still hadn't been able stay awake after she did that. No matter, they will survive.

Lewis arrived at the airport, duffel in one hand and plane ticket in the other. He tried to find the waiting shed, where he would meet his fellow questers. He wasn't really sure why they didn't just leave camp together- he had to take a taxi by himself- but it was too late to think about that. The future had to take precedence.

To be honest, though, Lewis still wasn't quite sure what exactly he was doing there. Everyone knew he was the lazy guy, but perhaps he just liked helping people. If they didn't find the tome in time, Layla the ghost would have to afterlife. That wouldn't be fair. She was a demigod, and he knew that demigods didn't have it good in life. They deserved something better in death. He couldn't let her just disappear.

He let out a puff of air. Seven days, and then it would all be over. One week until the clock hit zero. Not enough time to save a life. Well, an afterlife. His first quest, and he was looking forward. He knew that not everyone had successful missions, that not everyone would make it back alive. In camp, the Hermes Cabin had probably begun production on his burial shroud, to be used if he perished, to be burnt if he returned. Lewis hoped it would be the latter. He prayed to his father, too. As the god of travellers, surely he would help them get where they needed to be.

Finally, he spotted a sign that read 'AIRPORT WAITING LOUNGE'. He grinned. They would be waiting.

The quest would soon begin.

Saffron Valentine walked through the airport, a sprung in her step. She was going on a quest! Despite having been at Camp for eight years Saff had never really been on a quest. She'd done favours for Chiron from time to time, but they didn't really count. An official quest needed a prophecy, and finally Saff was on one that did. She was determined not to stuff up in anyway, and so she'd caught a taxi to the airport with plenty of time to spare. She'd also arrived with quite a bit of time left, which was good. Now she could get lost and still be on time.

She adjusted the bag on top of her shoulders slightly, trying to rememer if she'd forgotten anything. The relatively small bag actually held quite a bit. Mortal money, drachmas, ambroisia, a flask of nectar, a spare change of clothes, a sleeping bag and one of those cloth thingies that you wear in the desert. It seemed unlikly that this would fit in the bag Saff was wearing, but it did. It wasn't even magic, just clever packing on Saff's part. Also in Saff's bag was a sword hilt. This might seem like a strange thing to have in one's bag, until you realised that it was a weapon. But Saff was more fond of the dagger (disguised as a bracele on her wrist), so she would rather not use the sword hidden away in her bag.

Saff finally spotted the waiting area after about ten minutes. She still didn't understand why they were meeting here and not at Camp, but it didn't really matter. She looked around the waiting area casually, trying to spot a familiar face. She didn't actually know the other questers, or at least she thought she didn't. It could be fun to meet new people and then bond over a quest. Just as she was abput to decide that she was the first camper to arrive she spotted a girl. She'd seen tis girl before, when training with her sword. Saffron moved over to her and flashed a bright smile in her direction. "Hello" she said cheerfully. That should tell the girl that she was no ordinary mortal. And hopefully she would vaguely recognise Saff as well.
